I struggle with this every year because sort of by definition stocking stuffers are cheap, small, etc. Its hard to find something decent/interesting/useful that isn't a total waste of space/money.
Any ideas? No particular budget, but dont want to break the bank (i.e. keys to a new lexus = not an option )

| Think about things she really likes such a favorite chocolate bar or a nice bar of soap. |

We do lots of little things, some cost a bit more and others are from the grocery store checkout line.
Always some small thing of chocolate - whether it's a decadent expensive thing or simply a bag of m&m's Lotion. I'm partial to good-smelling body butters so he usually gets one of those. Chapstick or lip gloss. I keep them stashed everywhere so can always use one. Starbucks gift card - or Panera or B&N or wherever her regular favorite retail place is. Warm fleecy socks Breathmints Something practical - does she need a new ice scraper or hand sanitizer Fun new nail polish, and maybe a gift certificate for a pedicure at her favorite local nail salon Does she workout? Something small related to her exercise of choice. When I was running marathons DH would often put some GU in my stocking. |
| World Market has very cute stocking stuffers. When I was there last week I was wishing I could just buy my own stocking stuffers. Lotions, soaps, soaps, little candles, cute post-it notes, etc. You can get everything in one trip to World Market. |

My husband always puts a couple pairs of thick SmartWool socks in my stocking. I live in those things in the winter and don't think I would ever be satisfied with regular socks now.
Does she take baths? Is she okay with scented products? Although I generally have an aversion to perfumed products, DH usually gives me few bath bombs from Lush, and I love them. http://www.lushusa.com/Bath-Bombs/bath-bombs,en_US,sc.html |

These are what I can remember Dh buying me last year:
A ton of different mini nail polishes. I can't have painted nails at work so I love changing up colors on the weekends/when I go out A couple of those Eos lip balms Dunkin Donuts gift card A few pieces of candy I love (ranging from skittles to a high end chocolate bar) pens (I'm always losing them) lip gloss a fun new clip for my ID badge |

Some things I'd like in a stocking:
a magazine she doesn't usually buy/read mini umbrella for her purse envirosack reusable bag iPhone charger prominently labeled with my name and "Do not Remove" so my kids won't take it for themselves Gardening gloves |

lotto scratch offs
mini bottles booze nail polish mini lotions travel kleenex chocolate nail files nail buffers LED mini flashlight |
| From another thread, McDonalds Arch card. |
OMG! Yes! Yes! Yes! |
| lottery tickets |
Or a sample of different types. This would be perfect. DH would NEVER come up with this on his own! |
| Loccitaine Shea butter hand cream and lip balm. |
We do a naughty stocking each year to be opened at night after kids crash. Suggest it to your DH
